But now, they had to admit, the rate of unfortunate marriages was definitely higher for women who married beneath their social status compared to those in well-matched unions.

So, it was simply impossible to use the unique case of Adam as a precedent.

After hearing what Sarah had to say, Caitlin and Adam were so angry that their blood pressure was about to skyrocket. If Bennett hadn't already passed away, they would have lunged at him for deceiving their daughter for so many years. Bennett had even dared to dream of using the money Sarah had worked so hard to earn to support his mistress and illegitimate child.

"Did you know all along about your son's infidelity and his illegitimate child? Was it all because you wanted a son?" Adam, filled with indignation, pointed accusingly at Terry and Vera and began to berate them. "I knew there was something off about you both from the start. Indeed, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

"Hmph! As if it weren't bad enough that the Quirk family constantly supports the Eaton relatives, now you've crossed the line by mistreating my daughter. You truly don't know your place!" Caitlin scolded furiously.

They gave up all pretense.

"So what? Your daughter can't bear children. Why should the Eaton family lineage end here simply because she married into our family? Your daughter refuses to give us a grandchild, so why can't we find our own solution? Ultimately, it's your daughter who owes Bennett. The fact that we didn't let Bennett divorce your daughter already shows our magnanimity"

"Your daughter crossed the line too. She didn't even grant my son's final request, watching him die without lifting a finger. She's nothing more than a heartless woman! But it doesn't matter. After all, it's my son's inheritance we're talking about. Even if we can't take it all, we'll still get the lion's share!"

D*mn, those two shameless old geezers! But they probably don't know, do they? Bennett is now gone, turned to dust. The only ones left to fight over the inheritance with Sarah and Nina are you two.

their arrival, they were immediately taken aback by the sight of Sloane and a group of illegitimate children. They genuinely hadn't expected Bennett to be so audacious.
